Immigration

The positive aspects that immigration supplies for the country is pretty obvious and the people against immigration do not realize the cheap labor immigrants provide makes fruits, vegetables, toys, and other novelty goods cheap and affordable to every one. Immigrants also pay taxes but most likely don’t receive social services or benefits such as Medicaid or Social Security. This provides the country with more money to invest in schools and to help out other Americans that are in need of the services described above. The United States is planning to do more to educate immigrants about their rights in this country. That way there is no confusing and/or unnecessary deportation. The information given to the immigrants will be about basic law and consequence along with how to use services like Medicare that way the don’t use millions of Americans hard earned and paid tax money. Like I stated earlier with out the immigrants cheap labor several economic goods will increase in price thus making America and its inhabitants angry. The economy might also go down significantly enough to hurt inflation of money value a little. This will make companies pay employees more money or less but still increase price of goods.

Immigration has it faults as well. “Uncontrolled immigration threatens America’s unity and freedom” (William Norman Grigg, Anti-Immigration Measures Are Necessary). The newer and recent immigrants take advantage of medical services and using tax payer’s money. Congress does not regard aliens as “nobodies” but acknowledge them as people that hold no real rights in this country (William Norman Grigg). But this misunderstanding makes immigrants think that hey hold power when they really don’t. Immigration is considered to be controlled by deporting a fixed amount of immigrants a year of every ethnicity. That way the population of immigrants is under controlled and monitored. This alternative provided is better then mass deportation as congress suggested in an earlier conference this year. This way the economy and balance remain the same in this country.

Immigration could go in any direction if left unchecked. The immigrants should receive a little more rights but not to much power. But rather more knowledge on rights they have. Like one of the founding fathers said any one is allowed in our country if they benefit but denied entrance if they seek to take advantage and not contribute to the country. Immigration is said to increase by about 53.7 percent in the year 2010. This increased should be controlled. But to a certain extent because of the taxes they pay and the benefit to the economy they provide. That way this country is in control of immigration but still living in harmony. This is what the future is predicted to be like.
